Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp visited Meadowcreek High School on Monday to discuss some of his plans to expand access to mental healthcare in Georgia schools.

Kemp’s first state budget calls for an $8.4 million increase in funding for what is known as APEX mental and behavioral health services. During the governor’s visit to Meadowcreek, he and his wife participated in a discussion on the issue with Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks, school officials and state behavioral health officials.
